A group of 13 guys who travelled to Hollins Hall for a golfing/stag weekend, all elderly gentlemen so no need to leave the hotel on an evening time. A terrific time was had by all, good golf, good fun and good craic with a tremendous bunch of guys. The hotel is superb value for money with everything you need ( except Sky Sports 🥲). The rooms, golf course and food was really good and the service from all staff was very attentive and friendly. An excellent value for money option for golfers of all age and standard.

Once a lovely hotel and Golf course, ran down into a very mediocre one now, still a good course layout but shabby condition. 1st time I have ever sat down for a meal, starters arrive, we ask for a drink and they say go to the bar yourself, 15 mins later I get back with the drinks to find everyone finished their starters and the mains on the table, I am left with a cold starter and a main course. Other courses far superior for similar price or pay £20 extra and go to Slaley Hall in luxury.

It was suggested we visit Costa coffee down the road! The evening meal was served in the golf bar area not in the hotel which was disappointing. The food was of bar food standard, again not what we expected. The rooms were a little dated but clean and well aired. The golf was good as it's a great course, the greens and fairways well cut, but the bunkers were unplayable, full of weeds, evidently no attention for some weeks. We would visit again, but maybe when the staffing situation improves.

Really enjoyed our stay, the hotel is really welcoming, the rooms were comfortable, food was very tasty and the golf course is stunning, first day the weather was calm and still but changed for day 2, windy and a lot cooler but it was still pleasant enough. One downside was we visited on Masters Sunday and also when there was a really important Premier League fixture on, we hoped to be round on time to watch both but we’re told the hotel doesn’t have Sky Sports so wouldn’t be able to show the match or the golf meaning we had to huddle round iPads to watch it, I appreciate this is a first word problem and Sky is expensive for pubs/hotels but it would’ve been nice to sit and watch the Masters on tv. All in all though a very nice hotel and facilities. I would definitely recommend staying there.

The staff were absolutely brilliant but felt sorry for them as they were run ragged due to staff shortages. They had two weddings and a couple of big golf groups. The golf bar was closed so everyone was congregating in the bar near the reception which was packed. There was definitely no social distancing as advertised around the hotel. We got our drinks and went and sat in the closed bar due to being able to access it. But definitely no complaints about the staff they were excellent especially the two ladies who looked after us on the Sunday night.

We were booked in for a one night, two days of golf weekend break for 14 golfers. We arrived 10.30am yesterday (Saturday 17th July 2021) to find that the bar and restaurant in the golf complex was closed. I have never been to a golf club and certainly one that is more attuned to weekend bookings and societies that does not provide an open bar and eating facilities. We were not due to tee off till 1pm and had travelled early to partake of a meal and drinks before our round. Enquiries at the Golf Reception revealed that the bar/restaurant would open at 11am. Come 11.15am, no sign of opening, a further enquiry at golf reception was met with "the staff are slightly delayed but it should be open in 5 minutes". Eventually at 11.35am it opens I am somewhat surprised to see notices stating "Order and pay at the bar". Now over the past three months in my day role I have been completing numerous COVID inspections at venues across the North West and TABLE SERVICE is only allowed. Pint ordered and a request for food to which the staff said "food available shortly." Thirty minutes later and another bar staff said no food will be available but don't worry there is a halfway house on the course between holes 8 and 10 and they do excellent sausage and bacon sandwiches. Now prior to booking we had asked for and confirmed golf buggies for our party but the golf reception said none would now be available for us on Sunday but not to worry as "it's a nice walk." We ventured out onto the golf course which was reasonable but certainly not an easy walk. Upon arrival at the halfway house we found it to be closed and we carried on with our non anticipated hunger strike. After golf and making our way to the bar in the. hotel area we again found signs to order and pay any the bar and no TABLE SERVICE. Queues of 5-6 and later in the evening 10-12 people and service taking up to 30 minutes. The evening meal was the sole satisfactory part of the weekend. As others have mentioned breakfast service is by way of staff taking orders and haphazard delivery of food later. In fact ours arrived about 45 minutes after ordering and if wasn't for the fact that my partner and I had decided to give the Sundays golf a miss due to walking issues we would have had to leave the breakfast and make to the tee. There were three other parties nearby to us and all were discussing the haphazard nature of service of breakfast. Whilst waiting for our delayed breakfast one member of staff was cleaning the used tables and I noticed that she was using a disinfectant spray and a kitchen cloth. Again COVID regulations clearly state a disposable cloth (nominally those big blue rolls should be used) as a used cloth just moves the germs from one table to another. We checked out and were not asked about our stay so I thought I would put it here.

Despite the fact that our room was sealed and sanitised and the keycard issued to us, when we entered there were other peoples luggage in the room. Surprised is an understatement. We were given another room, this time the keycard didn’t work. So a 3rd room was offered. This time all was well. Comfortable and clean. All that was needed for our short stay. Food was served in the golf resort clubhouse, very basic menu, pizza, burgers, gammon or fish n chips. Was informed no pizza available as it had sold out. Was then informed that gammon was off, So the burger was ordered. It was ok. Came with fries which were cold, (sent back and fresh ones arrived) so all in all it was nothing special. Dessert was limited too, cheesecake or sticky toffee pudding. Despite the cheeseboard costing extra, we were told it was no longer available. So the food is very basic and caters for the less discerning pallet. Breakfast was good, buffet style, but good choice and the cooked option was very good.

I really don't like leaving negative feedback but the buggies we had pre-book through YGT weren't available. The golf team at the hotel had no record of them. We had to wait 40 minutes until two became available. This meant we'd missed our tee time and ended up going in the middle of a large group. The bar ran out of lemonade and cola. The bath tap was broken so could only get cold water from it. Contacted reception who said maintenance would call. However only the receptionist called up and suggested we use the showers in the spa. All this delay meant we were very late for dinner. There was no table service for drinks so you had to keep queuing up at the bar. The dinner and breakfast were ok. I was assured by the golf team that buggies had been reserved for us for the following day. "Don't worry you are definitely in the book"...but guess what. Correct the guy in the morning told us he couldn't see any reservation. However it did get sorted after 10 mins of negotiation. We have stayed at Hollins Hall a few times before when it was a Marriot but the Britannia chain which now owns it are letting it slip. Even the staff commented on its deterioration. The lunches were adequate but over priced for what you had. £2 extra for a few chips on your plate when you are expecting a bowl isn't value. We won't be going back

It was clear from the start that this hotel has been taken over and is now being run differently. Reception staff seemed very confused on arrival we were asked by the golf shop to check in to the hotel then return to arrange buggies etc, we did this however of the three hotel reception staff none could work the printer one person in uniform, one smartly dressed and one guy looked like he'd just woken up and had slept in the clothes he was wearing. We eventually checked in and they didn't have an up to date menu which was required to pre order dinner? we were asked to return to complete our order post golf. Needles to say having returned after golf we placed our 'pre order' menu choice's with reception and two hours later in the restaurant they hadn't received it, a situation well recovered by 'Matty' one of the bar staff. Evening dinner was a bar food menu not a hotel restaurant by any standard. Staff as ever were great but clearly under pressure and lacking a little guidance maybe because of the COVID. Breakfast was average with very little choice on the cold side. Hotel was being decorated in parts overnight which did not impact on our stay. We had a double delux room which was excellent well aired and clean.

Unfortunately the gloss was taken off our couple of days away golfing by an disagreement between the hotel and yourgolftravel. Upon arrival at Hollins Hall we were told we would be unable to play golf and stay at the hotel until we paid our full balance for the trip. This was somewhat of a shock to me as i had paid the full amount to yourgolftravel 2 months prior to this. I had a full receipt and booking confirmation. I was then stuck in the middle of the hotel and yourgolftravel blaming each other which left me with an unpleasant experience. I was left to pay the bill again in full while they settled their differences - i have since been refunded the additional payment. It seemed that every party on the day had the same experience so this was not an isolated incident. We still had an excellent trip it was just a shame it was tarnished by a poor customer experience

Second trip so we knew what to expect, ie good honest hotel for golfers. Given that a high proportion of the visitors are sporting golfers it was hugely disappointing to find the bar would NOT show any of the three football matches NOR the US Open golf final round on the Sunday. Evidently it was a local decision to avoid any disturbance ?!?! Bearing in mind the visitorsare predominantly over 40 years old this was most surprising. It ruined the middle part of our trip to be honest and has left a sour note as to revisiting. We did a taxi to a pub in a local town but that closed at 10.00pm and we attempted to watch the golf on an iPhone ( from a distance ! ). As I said 'disappointing'

We were hugely disappointed with the condition of the course. The greens were good but everything else was in poor condition. The fairways were long, what you would expect to find if you were in the first cut. The rough was thick and covered in thick clumps of grass clippings, if you were a yard off the fairway then there was a very good chance you would lose your ball. 6 of us went, all with sub 10 handicaps, and we lost over 30 balls in 2 rounds after missing the “fairway” by a matter of a yard or two, I even lost one in the middle of the fairway on one hole. Very disappointing from a course we have played numerous times pre-Covid and thoroughly enjoyed. The course could be a gem, fun holes to play etc but the condition it was in was appalling. Not to mention it was a 5+ hour round on the first day, probably in part to everyone in front spending time looking for balls after every shot.

It is a long and hilly course. A buggy would have been of real benefit especially as it was very hot weather. Interesting holes, we especially enjoyed the quirkiness of the 13th and the 14th, and the 17th was wonderfully challenging. For lady golfers you had to be a big hitter. It was a shame we were limited to 4 tee times meaning that with a group of 15 we couldn't go out in threes, which would have made the time a bit faster. The first round took us over 5 hours to complete. A buggy lift up to the first tee is a must. Some of the grass was so long that unless you were actually on the fairway it was very easy to lose your ball even when you knew where it landed. Good course, I would play it again.

The driving range is a massive hike down a steep hill and when you get there it is a field with a few flags in and was actually close so was a waste of a journey. The half way house bar is close even though they had nice seating outside and the course was busy. The ‘pro shop’ is a reception for the spa etc. and they didn’t have a clue about golf, they were more interested in us ordering our meal for that evening. The first tee is up a massive hill, the holes are a fair walk apart and the 18th ends up at the opposite side of the property from the spike bar (and spa bar). Do not play here without a buggy, its ridiculous. Staff in hotel reception were nice and the rooms were good from what we saw checking in but not worth suffering another round there.

The greens offered a real tough test. I don't think I've ever been as consistent tee to green and walked off with as many 3 putts. Great test of golf but 1 major piece of advice is .... hire a buggy. Once you get to the 1st tee you will see why 😄😄😄

Out if a party of 36 golfers 29 points stableford was the winning score on the first round and 33 second. The difficulty was the severe undulations on the greens Augusta like and there were 2 or 3 treacherous pin positions. The greens had been hollow tined and the holes hadn’t filled in on some of the greens. The bunkers were poor many with dandelions and weeds in. We enjoyed our trip and made the best of the conditions and we understand these resort courses have obviously suffered through lack of investment because of the Covid years. Would still return when in better condition.

We were here early April over a very cold and fairly windy weekend. We had to come off during a hail storm on the first day. It is a well laid out parkland course which was in pretty good condition for the time of the year. Very tricky greens with lots of undulations. Buggy recommended as it is fairly hilly - especially the walk to the 1st tee. Yellow/Red tees were a more than sufficient challenge for our mixed sex and ability group.Golf shop was closed and was operating from leisure club front desk

Pin holes were changed at 1 in the afternoon between our groups, a lawnmower was towed across the fairway when we were waiting to take out shot from the same fairway, and then told to just play over the top of them.

Nice course challenging enough for the average club golfer big greens and open fairways suited the higher handicap golfer which made for an enjoyable couple of rounds for our society. A buggy was essential and we had difficulties getting one as there was a mis communication with the booking and tea times. Although they were pre booked through yourgolf travel when we got there they didnt have buggies for us so we were advised to book buggies and confirm tea times direct with the golf club rather than through the agent. This rather spolt our finals days golf. Greens were alittle over used with too many pitch marks being unrepaired although this is fairly standard for a lot of courses that are used by a high proportion of visitors. A couple of f really challenging holes snd great views.

We played of yellow tee's as the others would have been to difficult for our standard but that's us not the course. Sadly the greens had all been dressed prior to our arrival with a feed or fertilizer so putting was a bit of a joke both days with footprints and putting lines all over but it is just an observation not a complaint all greens need treatment. quite a few bunkers particularly on the par 3's were GUR with weeds growing out of them which surprised me given the supposed rating of the course and a lot of the other bunkers were inconsistent in there upkeep. Fairways great just don't stray off them your never finding that ball. I will play this course again, views to die for and a good test of a range of shots for every standard hopefully maintenance will catch up. We pre booked our buggies which is a must because it wasn't busy during our stay but every buggy was out.

Due to the bad weather it was carry bags which we didn’t have so had to stick to the paths with our trollies which slowed the round massively due to the toing and froing.

A major problem for us which will possibly mean us having to rethink using this facility again was the fact that we booked buggies and when we arrived we were told by the lad in the golf shop there were none available. The fact that this is probably the hilliest course in Yorkshire and that we had somebody who is terminally ill and another that was 73 didn't matter...the reaction we got was TOUGH!! We later found out that whilst there are a good number of buggies they don't have enough chargers...this certainly put us off going again.

A very large golf society was on the course in front of us and all were 4 balls. At the two short holes there was a very long wait and queuing on all holes. The grass on the fairways was long and it was very difficult to find your way round the course. Our tee time was at 3:20 pm and there was no way you could finish before dark - we were so fed of up of the long waits we completed only 8 holes and finished at 6.00 pm. The queues were just as long on the Monday. We feel we should have been told about the large group competition before we booked. The course was very sloping and everyone was looking for their balls in the long grass after it had run down the slope. Views were lovely but that was the only good thing about the course.
